I gave Alchemy viewer a try
2048mb
https://ibb.co/hk9aXA
here it says quote
An experimental Second Life™ viewer striving to be at the forefront of stability, performance, and technological advancement in the open-source metaverse viewer field.
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory
I wouldn't say so. no different then the rest tried one tried them all at best a slight ui user interface change and that is all

it would be nice if the catalog displayed whether or not we already purchased items steam does this so you don't accidently make double purchases
also it is a bit of a shame that in world purchases are not linked to the web catalog so they do not have a paper trail sales receipt log or allow reviews of any kind untraceable anonymous

Even if you don't like it: That's the official calculation until LL changes it. If we were changing it on our own like that furry viewer with its handful of users did, we would have got slapped by LL big time instantly. But don't worry. Calculations are gonna change with the ARCtan project. ?
What is the benefit of 3rd party viewers if change is not allowed and is forbidden?

This is another reason I won't buy ANYTHING costing more than 25L without a demo first. it's not just how it fits anymore. It's that rendering score. I saw a hair I fell in love with. Score: 160000. Umm, no.
this forum seems to be against graphics and visuals, this forum seems to prefer that it had remained 1962 for forever without any progression moving forward

Let me help with your confusion. I'm the "nobody" who approves (or not) Firestorm beta tester applications. You're welcome.
out of curiosity is the software 32 bit? because on the page here you claim
quote
- All builds are Large Address Aware for systems with greater than 2 gig memory
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory/Firestorm
but this is untrue as you cannot use more then 2048mb 2GB with any version of firestorm

I downloaded the singularity alpha build 6994
went into settings preferences it lets you change the memory via text at first I thought I was golden but it reset anything I typed into it to 2048 and I uninstalled it that is as far as I got with it no point in trying software that doesn't work

You want Second Life to dedicate more than a safe amount of VRAM for the texture buffer (which is all that slider is for - read it) then go code a Viewer/Client yourself.
Go. Do. It.

While I don't ever go out in highly complex outfits in the hundreds of thousands, while cleaning out old inventory stuff I have come upon a few absolutely gorgeous old prim gown outfits that have come in from 1.0-2.5 million. I take a picture and save it all, but that is a far as those outfits ever make it.
sounds like high complexity is a good thing

It wasn't that bad. You barely notice when Windows starts to swap VRAM into system ram. I think it even swapped to disk since I had some other tools running occupying a good share of my system memory. I tested it on a nvidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB VRAM and went to one of these super crowded shopping events with 40+ avatars around. The following graph shows the (roughly) measured total VRAM usage:
Only backdraft are probably these security fixes for the Spectre CPU vulnerabilites, since they cut down raw I/O performance, especially when VRAM gets swapped to disk.
so it is about 10GB to run sl?
I had a choice of all the consumer video cards in existence titan v, vega 64 frontier edition, 2080ti etc
the vega 64 frontier edition has 16GB vrm but it is also rated one of the worst video cards of all time msrp $999 gaming performance between a 1070 and 1080 nvidia released 1070ti a hair cut off of the 1080 and faster then vega for $100 less then 1080
http://www.hwcompare.com/35802/geforce-gtx-1070-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-1080/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tbD-vX-Kks
the 2080ti was $2,000 at retail so i passed as it would be double the price of the 1080ti for basically the same card rebranded with how cut down and gimped it was and performance wasn't there nor hardware for price cost brings nothing to the table for asking price
the 1080ti was about $1000+ anything under the 1080ti was a mid range gimped balless video card and i didnt want the low end junker video cards of lag and of course the 1080ti slaps the 2080 out of the ballpark the 2080 and 1080ti are about the same price tag, nvidia was caught cheating nerfing the 1080ti via drivers to make the 2080 and 2080ti seem faster then they actually were as the 2080 had nothing under the hood to compete with besides newer memory ddr6 so nvidia resorts to what they do best cheating nvidia the way you are meant to be played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EQdscIdKEU
http://www.hwcompare.com/36599/geforce-rtx-2080-vs-geforce-gtx-1080-ti/
the only way the 2080 would ever win is if the graphics are turned down via driver settings or software game etc
nvidia likes to gimp video cards and sell for more $$$ so of course none have any memory so you need a new one constantly but still more then enough to update this decrepit software for
http://www.hwcompare.com/33424/geforce-gtx-1070-vs-geforce-gtx-1080-ti/
the graph you showed shows that sl would more or less fit perfectly in a 1080ti and fill the vrm properly on a half decent cut down video card like the 1080ti or super cut down 2080ti or better
currently second life running via firestorm only uses about 5% of my cpu
5% of this
https://ark.intel.com/products/75123/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3-90-GHz-
- Processor Numberi7-4770K
- StatusDiscontinued
- Launch DateQ2'13
it is factory clocked i still have room to overclock it not that it would ever be needed but the option is always there on the table
I would upgrade it but the only thing intel does is NDA then sell stock and fire and lay everyone off and take a magic marker and write new model numbers and names on the same products and when in trouble add more cores like amd phenom and bulldozer
I have a meer 24GB system memory because corsair sold me dead memory purchased 32GB this ddr3 memory is now valued more than 200% its value today then back in 2013 so fixing and replacing is one really bad option for a relic that is already way to fast for this software to handle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqojCQg6mzM
rest assured at corsair Q/A does not exist and no one not even a machine tested that garbage before corsair shipped it to retailers around the world selling any of it as premium garbage
the last two video cards i had were nvidia evga 460, 780 both died within under a two year period within date of purchase or less they don't make em like they use to or maybe evga is just a really bad company
nvidia 6800gs by bfg lasted for forever and wouldn't die
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_Technologies
the exaggeration when people cannot fully utilize something is a bit ridiculous
i see 3k 9k
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volta_(microarchitecture)
the 3k ones a consumer card as they are labeled under (microarchitecture)
asking for a simple update to a decrepit slider wasn't asking for much nor the update to decrepit presets picked randomly out of a hat

To the larger point, yeah, if the avatar has greater than 100K complexity, it's a sure sign of a careless shopper.
How so? complexity was added after I had bought and purchased everything
this softwares like https://store.steampowered.com/earlyaccessfaq/

I am so confused. it wasn't even a thought in my mind. and a nobody saying no I didn't get the job like what?
it's like walking into a pizza parlor to order a pizza and them saying sorry you didn't get the job when all I wanted to do was order a pizza.

If avatars shoot past the 350K complexity limit, I wouldn't consider them as good quality.
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/31077
some of these items are listing 84,505 complexity per item
maybe that is a bit because i cannot see it, half of the avatar items do not list complexity base items and huds etc
if I take off all jewelry and accessories complexity is 161,700 minus hair a bald avatar
hair was 308,447 complexity tough finding good quality hair that doesn't look like it was used as a custodians mop
1 outfit 636,354 complexity
varies a little but most are roughly around that at the moment one million complexity gives room to grow whereas now it is unlimited or nothing
does 350 complexity support that?
if linden labs wants to return all purchases for the broken update i am fine with the update
every time I return to second life I guess complexity spikes higher and higher with the new items that are released by creators / modders second life's based on what modders make not what linden labs makes what product did anyone buy from linden labs besides the coins currency and land
if I have to go back to a basic default avatar because of updates I should be refunded all purchases from the beginning to the end

Since current Windows versions can virtualize VRAM, you can bet your butt you can use even more VRAM than physically available! ?
how was the performance of that new feature? how was ram utilization? how much memory did you see it use on each predefined graphics preset?
can you give a review of what you liked and disliked about it and how it ran? what video card do you have and use when testing that feature and presets?

Only the VRAM? Surely we can think bigger than that.
well if you insist it would be nice to see bandwidth scale update from dial up and fax modems to high speed internet 10,000 - 50,000 and above would be a good start not only is second life like a video game but it also has media player built in streaming content from like internet like youtube etc i noticed that last 3rd party viewer i downloaded supported 10,000 kokua?
Is 3 Mbps fast enough for streaming?A good comparison tool is Netflix. According to the site, to view movie or TV-length videos, 3 Mbps of download speed is recommended for DVD quality. To reach higher HD quality, you'd need to look at speeds of 5 to 7 Mbps.https://www.google.ca/search?q=3+megabytes&oq=3+megabytes&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l6.3631j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8anything would be an improvement over the 1990's 3 megabytes

Second Life - Avatar Complexity limiter in a nutshell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krRFlzwnw3U
-
when that update was released it broke my avatars and friends avatars and made using second life a pita to use for almost everyone with quality avatars as you always have to use unlimited or only use avatars that second life launched with decades ago, you would think the max preset would help or be useful but it sucks and is worthless trash, you always have to use unlimited because no research RND was done in design numbers were randomly picked out of a hat ultra is not ultra complexity is for better visuals the update was done after microtransactions i am willing to accept a complete refund for all microtransactions on account in favour of the update but they would never refund microtransactions

Can you update the ultra preset to something useful and beneficial like 1,000,000 Complexity
